The
Offering - Open edition

The
Offering was my first San Miguel-inspired piece. I was working
on an MFA in sculpture at the Instituto Allende, and every day
in the doorway of this school sat a woman selling calla lilies,
one of my favorite flowers. She would hold her wares out for
all to view. I became a frequent customer. She is an old woman
now, and I see her often in the town. We know each other and
always exchange greetings. If you wish to see her, rent the
movie "Once Upon a Time in Mexico," filmed in part
in San Miguel - she is the old woman in the church scene. I
consider her a friend."
